Communication Profile Name: Date(s) of Samples: Setting Communication Partner(s) # of Utterances Activity Sample 1: Sample 2: Sample 3: Sample 4: Sample 5: Sample 6: Refer to subjective data collection (e.g., observation, daily journal) to define the setting, communication partner(s), and activity for the samples selected. Try to have at least 100 total number of utterances across the six samples. Complete each section of the Communication Profile, as appropriate. Section 1: Morphology and MLU-M Section 2: Syntax and Sentence Production Section 3: Vocabulary Acquisition Section 4: Communication Functions Attach the LAM data to this profile. Use the PeRT (Performance Report Tool) to further analyze the selected samples. PeRT will provide the following objective measurements of the language samples. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.

Add comments, as necessary, to accurately reflect morphology production.

For the remaining items on the list, ✔ Check the variations that are used. Add comments, as needed. S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 Syntax 1. Single Word Utterances 2. Noun Strings and/or Topic-Comment 3.

Add comments, as needed. S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 Vocabulary Selection Key verb(s) missing in sentences Core verb(s)spelled Key noun(s) missing in sentences Key noun(s spelled Key adjective(s) missing in sentences Key adjective(s) spelled “Little Words” missing Use of time adverbs (now, later, soon) Use of position adverbs (here, there) Use of manner adverbs (quickly) Use of determiners (this, that, all, some) Use of pronouns (any forms) Use of indefinite pronouns (anybody, someone, nothing, everywhere) Use of prepositions (in, off, with, by) Use of conjunctions (and, or, because) Use of polite interjections (hello, goodbye, please, thank you Use of exclamatory interjections (wow, oh, yum, yuk) Use of question words (where, wherever, where’s) Count the number of words in the sample and calculate a % of words used.
